Shaquille O’Neal was a male of a thousand nicknames during his NBA personification days, though his subsequent moniker could lift a many significance.

How does “Sheriff Shaq” sound? It could be on a Hall of Famer’s business cards in a few years if a large man’s ambitions come to fruition.

O’Neal recently told an Atlanta TV hire he will strive to turn a policeman in 2020, nonetheless it’s not transparent where he would run. He binds residency in both Florida and Georgia.

“This is not about politics to me. It’s something that we always wanted to do. It’s only about bringing people closer together,” O’Neal pronounced on WXIA, around ESPN. “You know, when we was entrance up, people desired and reputable a police, a deputies. And we wish to be a one to move that back, generally in a village we serve.”

This would be distant from O’Neal’s initial incursion into policing. He is an titular emissary in Georgia’s Clayton County and has been a haven patrolman in Los Angeles, Miami Beach, Golden Beach, Doral and Tempe, Arizona.

Are those sheriff-level credentials? Only a electorate can confirm that.

But O’Neal thinks he can put a correct support complement in place to make a transition.

“I know how to run a team,” O’Neal said. “My character is going to be to approximate myself with guys that have been doing it approach longer than I’ve been doing it — approximate myself with smarter people. And we know it’ll be successful.”
